Vossys argument for why we can win it - someone has to so why not the sharks. Not the best.
"Andrew Voss looks at the chances of the Sharks and Raiders, gives his views on the headbutt, and asks what happened to Dave Taylor in this week's Six Again.
Can Cronulla win the Telstra Premiership?
Why not?
Put it this way, I can't come up with an argument strong enough to dismiss their prospects as being much less than some of the sides above them.
And suddenly after completing a winning season double over the Cowboys as they had earlier done to the Roosters, the name of former Prime Minister Harold Holt started appearing in hashtags!
As Jack Gibson once offered, "Waiting for Cronulla to win a premiership is like leaving the porch light on for Harold Holt".
But around the Shire last Saturday night as I made my way home after calling the game at Remondis Stadium, I noticed more people than usual seemed to have the lights on, on their verandahs!
Cronulla's form is good. Very good. For a side that lost its opening four matches of the season, they have certainly learnt how to win.
They face another big challenge at home on Monday night against Melbourne. I hope they pack the joint! And don't be surprised if a few more front lights are then still glowing late into the night.
So again, I make the point. Someone has to win the thing, why not the Sharks?
(By the way if Harold Holt does suddenly appear on anyone's front porch, he might need a rest. He would have turned 107 last week.)"
